Chapter 1127 She Was What He Wanted the Mos

“Hmm? You look so shocked, so that must mean I guessed right again.” Gu Nianzhi inclined her chin slightly and smiled like a little fox, “Thanks for the compliments.”

Reinitz composed himself, bursting into laughter and shaking his head, “I didn’t even say anything. This was all your own conjecture.”

“You don’t need to say anything to me. Your eyes are telling me enough.” Gu Nianzhi smiled as she looked at Reinitz’s discomforted gaze while he continued to fry the steak.

“It’s immoral and illegal for you to do such things in our country. This also caused casualties to our personnel, so how should we settle this debt?”

Gu Nianzhi folded her hands behind her and walked behind Reinitz to look at his tall and broad back. She measured him with her hands and was disappointed to discover that she probably wouldn’t be able to physically overcome him…

Reinitz didn’t even turn before replying, “So what will you do? Arrest me and hand me over to the police, or hand me over to your Major General Huo?”

“I wanted to do that, but I can’t.” Gu Nianzhi shook her head. You are very confident that I don’t have any evidence on me. My deductions alone aren’t enough to get you convicted.”

Also, Reinitz was making a national visit to the Huaxia Empire as the Director of the German Federal Intelligence Service…

His title alone would certainly guarantee immunity.

Of course, the more important matter was that the Huaxia Empire’s biggest enemy was none other than Japan.

Germany and the United States had no desire to fight the Huaxia Empire to death, but Japan was a completely different case.

So Gu Nianzhi decided to abide by the principle of losing some and winning some and let Reinitz off the hook this time.

She stood on the other side of Reinitz and smiled, “But I’m not a very old-fashioned person, so I know what is good for me. Although you crafted such a big lie to fool me in Germany…”

Gu Nianzhi drew a large circle with her hand.

Reinitz couldn’t help but glance at her from the corner of his eyes, then want to nearly burst into laughter.

But he still managed to control himself and expressionlessly look straight ahead. He stared blankly at the sizzling steak.

“…But I am a generous and forgiving person, so I won’t be petty with you. Truthfully speaking, you helped me lots too. Your merits outweigh your sins, so should we call it a tie?” Gu Nianzhi cocked her head at Reinitz and offered her soft, pale hand, “What do you think?”

Although Reinitz knew Gu Nianzhi was playing coy with him because she didn’t have any physical evidence to prove his connection to the Hong Kangquan cause, he couldn’t help but feel excited.

Reinitz had done exactly the same thing Gu Nianzhi was doing, countless times before.

Although he was fully aware that these honeyed words flowed easily from her lips and didn’t have any truth in them, he couldn’t help but feel overjoyed by her lies…

Reinitz was frightened to the bone.

Could he have fallen so deeply without even realizing it?

“Hello? Reinitz? Do you agree or are you planning something else now?” Gu Nianzhi cocked her head at Reinitz, only to discover that his thin lips were trembling slightly. Although the motion was barely detectable, such a display was too obvious for Gu Nianzhi who was accustomed to reading Huo Shaoheng’s facial expression daily.

“…What’s with you? Did I say something wrong?” Gu Nianzhi curled her lips. Was Reinitz going to cry or something?

What would she do then?

She panicked for a second and stumbled backward.

Reinitz saw her leave, so he instinctively reached out to grab her by the arm. However, he quickly let go like he was burned by fire.

Gu Nianzhi carefully peered at Reinitz to see he didn’t look like he was going to cry. She finally sighed in relief and giggled, “Thanks for that, I almost tripped.”

Reinitz snorted. He replied expressionlessly, “You are very good at talking to yourself. I didn’t even say anything and you already made so many conclusions about me.”

“I was seeking your opinion.” Gu Nianzhi splayed her palms, “Also, what was Hong Kangquan trying to barter with the United States and Japan? Do you know?”

“You actually don’t know?” Reinitz turned to look at her with surprise, “So you’re not their core personnel?”

Although his words were a bit hurtful, it was still the truth.

Gu Nianzhi was a bit unhappy to hear it, “What do you mean by core personnel? How am I not core personnel? Are you looking down on me?”

She can’t possibly be core personnel if she answered like that.

Reinitz sighed in relief, his entire mood brightened.

He lost his poker face and his eyes squinted as he smiled at Gu Nianzhi, “Why would I ever dare to look down on you? My girl, you flipped my entire house upside down and I didn’t even say a word about it.”

He was referring to how Gu Nianzhi was “the Pink Piggy” who destroyed the German Federal Intelligence Service’s central control system and all their files in one fell swoop…

Gu Nianzhi nodded slyly, “When did I ever do that? I’m not some silly child, so what does your house being flipped upside down have anything to do with me?”

Neither of them admitted to these accusations, so they have basically met their match.

“Actually, Hong Kangquan is not that important. Their target changed a long time ago.” Reinitz smiled faintly as he served the cooked steak and drizzled a bit of sauce to enhance the flavor. Finally, he embellished the plate with a piece of broccoli as a decoration.

Gu Nianzhi furrowed her brows in contemplation, “That’s right. They changed their tactic after and don’t care about Hong Kangquan’s survival at all.”

All they cared about was trapping and drawing Huo Shaoheng and his men at the bottom of the ocean.

They also used such a powerful magnetic field…

A thought crossed Gu Nianzhi’s head: why did these people insist on taking Huo Shaoheng’s life?

In order to kill off Huo Shaoheng, they would rather give up Hong Kangquan when they almost had him.

Was this purely because Huo Shaoheng was the chief of the Huaxia Imperial Special Operations Forces?

That he held the same rank as Reinitz?

But there were such people in every country.

If Huo Shaoheng died on duty, the Huaxia Empire would appoint a new chief.

The Special Ops wouldn’t be dismantled due to the death of one person.

That means Huo Shaoheng must possess some intrinsic value the Japanese and American couldn’t tolerate, and this was the reason they used all efforts to kill him off.

Gu Nianzhi couldn’t immediately think of what special value Huo Shaoheng could possess to cause the Japanese and Americans to hate him to the bone. She decided to leave this aside for now and changed the topic to the magnetic field used by the Japanese.

“Reinitz, did you see the wonder of nature on the Japan Sea?” Gu Nianzhi helped Reinitz bring the cooked food to the dining room outside, “Do you know how it was created?”

He answered sullenly, “I know the Americans have very advanced magnetic field technology. But I never realized they could create such a powerful electric field.”

“Was this actually created by the Americans’ technology?” Gu Nianzhi could sense something was amiss in what Reinitz was saying, “But what was the energy source? As far as I know, there are no devices in the world that can produce such a powerful electromagnetic field.”

“Don’t be so conclusive with your words.” Reinitz disagreed, “Every country has its own advanced technology and that is especially the case for the United States. Their technological capabilities are actually very powerful, so there are many things you’ve never even seen or heard about.”

“But I still think that the United States wouldn’t have been in this state for a long time if they actually had such amazing energy sources.” Gu Nianzhi was very insistent, “It doesn’t seem like it at all.”

Reinitz looked at her again. He thought that no matter how powerful that energy source was, could it even compare to her when she stood in front of him?

She was what they wanted the most.

Her father was truly a genius.
